## TUNING
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide is intended for system administrators to optimize Construct and
|
||
|
|
maximize its performance for their environment. This does not cover [BUILD](BUILD.md)
|
||
|
|
tuning, and it is expected that Construct is already installed and the [SETUP](SETUP.md)
|
||
|
|
has been completed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Some instructions may reference Construct's configuration system. This is
|
||
|
|
accessed via the administrator's console which can be reached by striking
|
||
|
|
`ctrl-c (SIGINT)` and then using the `conf` command (see: `help conf`). The
|
||
|
|
console can also be reached interactively through your preferred client in
|
||
|
|
the `!control` room. Alternatively, configuration state can be manipulated
|
||
|
|
directly through the `!conf` room. Configuration changes take effect as a
|
||
|
|
result of state events sent to the `!conf` room, thus all aforementioned
|
||
|
|
methods to change configuration are the same.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- CHANGES TO CONFIGURATION ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. ERRONEOUS VALUES MAY
|
||
|
|
CAUSE UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR AND RESULT IN PROGRAM TERMINATION. CONFIGURATION
|
||
|
|
ERRORS MAY ALSO PREVENT STARTUP. Please see the
|
||
|
|
[TROUBLESHOOTING](TROUBLESHOOTING.md#recovering-from-broken-configurations)
|
||
|
|
guide for how to recover from configuration errors.

### Event Cache Tuning
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of Construct's runtime footprint in RAM consists of a cache of Matrix
|
||
|
|
events read from the database. The data in many of these events may be
|
||
|
|
directly accessed for fundamental server operations; for example, a client's
|
||
|
|
access-token and user information is stored with events in special server
|
||
|
|
rooms. The event cache is a set of LRU (Least Recently Used) caches. The size
|
||
|
|
of these caches should be tuned to at least the "working-set size" expected
|
||
|
|
by the server. If these caches are too small, load will be placed
|
||
|
|
on the next storage tier. For storage devices with poor random access
|
||
|
|
characteristics it is important these caches cover the server's working-set
|
||
|
|
size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To list the event cache information, try the following commands (example output
|
||
|
|
shown):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

```

|
|
|
||
|
|
To view the configuration item for the size of a cache, which should match your
|
||
|
|
output from the above command, use the following command where `<COLUMN>` is
|
||
|
|
replaced by one of the names under `COLUMN` in the above output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
conf ircd.m.dbs.events.<COLUMN>.cache.size
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To alter a cache size, set the configuration item with a byte value. In the
|
||
|
|
example below we will set the `_event_json` cache size to 256 MiB. This change
|
||
|
|
will take effect immediately and the cache will grow or shrink to that size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
conf set ircd.m.dbs.events._event_json.cache.size 268435456
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Tip: The best metric to figure out which caches are inadequate is not
|
||
|
|
necessarily the utilization percentage. Caches that are too small generally
|
||
|
|
exhibit high values under `INSERT TOTAL` as well as full utilization. If this
|
||
|
|
value is several times higher than the cache size and growing, consider
|
||
|
|
increasing that cache's size.
